About me

Hi I’m Amber and I am a loving mother of 3 beautiful children. Owner of Like Me Doula Services, LLC. I am a NJ Family Care Medicaid Provider. I come from a diverse background and have had 3 very different birth experiences. After having my last baby in 2021 I became incredibly invested in women’s birthing experiences, before, during and after and through research saw that there was a need in my area for supportive women just like me. I decided to take the journey to become a Doula and will be continuing my education in all areas. I want to help change the way women think of their birthing experience and make Doula service and Breastfeeding services more obtainable for all women no matter your circumstances. Please reach out if you have questions about how I can help make your birthing experience better. ❤️

My Amber, my Amber (yes !! I literally yelled her name during delivery 😂)… where do I even begin? Amber was simply AMAZINGGGG. From answering late-night messages to showing up for impromptu emergency visits, she was always present. She made me feel instantly comfortable we clicked right away because Amber is truly a whole vibe.<br>What I loved most is how wholeheartedly involved she was. She advocated for me every step of the way and brought so much knowledge and passion into this journey. And listen… as a mom who has birthed FOUR babies, she still taught me things I never even knew. That says everything.<br>In such a short time, Amber became family. We’re going on three months postpartum and I can still text her, vent, and just be real no judgment, just love and support. She made this experience unforgettable, and honestly, I just wish I had found her sooner.<br>If you’re looking for a doula who will make you laugh, cry with you, turn the delivery room into a karaoke concert, hold you accountable (because she DOES NOT play 😌), while holding your hand and making you feel completely seen and validated she is the doula for you.<br>TENS, TENS, TENS ACROSS THE BOARD 👏🏽✨

I would give Amber a 10 star review if possible. She was such a wonderful support to me and my husband from our first meeting halfway through pregnancy to postpartum. Our birth experience was overwhelmingly positive, and I don't know that it would've been the same without her, especially during early labor. It is very obvious that birth work is her calling! We are forever grateful for her friendship, care and support.

Amber is an exceptional doula who provided invaluable support during a challenging period in my life. Following the loss of one of my twins, I remained pregnant with the other, and Amber was there for me throughout my grief, pregnancy, and postpartum period. She regularly checked in on me, visited me in the hospital, NICU, and even offered assistance in organizing my home upon my return. Her unwavering support and willingness to help me navigate this difficult time were truly remarkable. Amber’s advocacy on my behalf was instrumental when needed, and she provided me with comprehensive lists of essential items for the hospital and upon returning home with my newborn. She also inquired about any needs my husband may have, ensuring that both of us were adequately prepared. Amber’s dedication to preparing me for birth and her unwavering availability during my time of need have left an indelible mark on my life.

We were lucky enough to have Amber join us in the delivery room pretty last minute, and in hindsight, we don’t know what we would have done without her! Amber was such a positive presence in the room, and was sure to continue checking with my husband and I about what we really wanted to do next (vs what the doctor might have recommended). Not only was the mental and emotional support wonderful, but the physical counter pressures that Amber provided were a game changer. I highly recommend working with Amber to make your labor and delivery a magical one. She is someone you want in the room when you bring your baby earthside! Thanks Amber!

There really aren't enough words to describe how grateful I am to have had Amber's support during my first pregnancy, my birthing experience and postpartum..she genuinely is the best.<br><br>As a first time mom, it can feel very overwhelming when it comes to learning and educating yourself on all the things, all while trying to prepare mentally and emotionally as well. Having Amber be such a reassuring, compassionate, and knowledgeable support person really played such a huge part in the positive pregnancy experience that I had. She always took the time to listen, explain all of our options very clearly, and make sure that I felt empowered in every choice along the way.<br><br>I'm so incredibly grateful that our paths crossed with Amber and for everything she did for my partner and I. If you are looking for someone to advocate for you, uplift you, and provide amazing support every step of your journey..I whole heartedly recommend Amber!

Amber was my first doula, and even though I found out about her after my baby was born, she was still absolutely amazing. She helped me navigate a healthy co-parenting relationship while being completely herself and offering any guidance or help I needed with my baby. I love that she has her own personality—it made me feel like I was talking to a real person rather than someone who was just going through the motions. She brought warmth, authenticity, and support when I needed it most. I’ll definitely have her as my doula again in the future if I have more children.

Amber was truly amazing! She supported me through my entire birth and never left my side. She kept reminding me that I could do it and not to give up, even when things got tough. Her calm energy and encouragement made such a difference and helped me stay strong. I’m so grateful to have had her by my side I couldn’t have asked for a better doula!❤️

I unexpectedly had Amber as my doula when the doula I'd been working with had an emergency and arranged for a backup. I didn't meet Amber until I was already in the hospital for an induction. She was absolutely fantastic! She was there for me by text and phone (alongside my original doula) while I was navigating the induction process and came immediately when I very suddenly went into labor. We didn't have the benefit of getting to know each other over weeks or months but I immediately felt safe and taken care of with her. She was so supportive every step of the way, and coordinated so well with my original doula. What could've been a very stressful experience wound up going very smoothly and I don't have enough good things to say!

I had a fantastic experience using Amber as a doula. She was there and very attentive for the entirety of labor, delivery, and some hours post partum. She helped my partner and I through the exhausting efforts of having a 24 hour unmedicated birth, and didn't give any judgement when we decided to have an epidural at 9.5 cm dilated. She worked with what we needed and was adaptable throughout the whole process. Also, has a great sense of humor! Highly recommend!

After being 4 weeks away from giving birth and thinking I couldn't have a doula because it was "too late", Amber assured me it wasn't. She was amazing in prepping me for my birth, and being there during my postpartum. As a first time mom, it can be scary and daunting but having Amber come by, especially during the first few weeks, was so helpful for me and baby. She does not shy away from being real with you and is wonderful! You're in good hands with Amber!
